Fry Sauce, Games, and Other Adventures

This week has been a fun one. Saturday we decided to get French fries at Five Guys which is one of Daniel's and my favorite places to get burgers and fries. I decided to finally try out their Cajun fries, and Daniel decided to ask and see if they had any fry sauce. Of course, it being Texas and all, they didn't have any, but after some asking from the girl at the cash register the cook offered to mix up some mayo and barbecue sauce for him. He was pretty close to describing what we would consider "real" fry sauce, so we didn't correct him. In fact, we were amazed that he even had any idea what might go into fry sauce!  My Cajun fries were like having fries with seasoning salt and a small, metaphorical,  flame on them! They had a great taste and then your mouth was on fire! We also love to call up my Dad to tell him where the potatoes came from to make the french fries. Though he won't do it, we always hope a little that Call Farms will make the board some day. Then everyone will know that the potatoes that made their fries were Famous Call Farm's potatoes!

Then we went to a game night put on my Daniel's work manager. We played blokus and lost to an 8 year old. (One of Daniel's co-worker's kids who came to the beginning of the party). They we played a couple of rounds of Bang followed by a quick round of Apple to Apples. It was fun to meet Daniel's work people, and to have a group to play games with. It was a good time!

Earlier in the day on Saturday we helped with an eagle scout project. The scout had collect supplies  to fill 1000 backpacks.  Each backpack had a blanket, two small snack items, a small package of wet wipes, tooth brush, tooth paste, deodorant, and a comb. Basically it was a little hygiene kit for those in need. It was set up really well so you just grabbed a backpack and walked around in a circle past stations where you put on of each item in your bag. There were lots of volunteers so it didn't take too long to finish the whole project. Daniel and I each filled up 8 or so backpacks each. It was good to see people in the ward and talk to them. It was also fun to help out!
